Respect is good, but beliefs differ

Regarding the article, “3 men, 3 religions: Community discussion planned on faiths’ shared values”: It is true that we should respect and learn about other people’s religions, and there is value to discussion. However, Mr. Siddigui, a Muslim, is incorrect in stating that Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists are all “children of the same God.”

Christians worship a God who has a Son.

Muslims worship a God who does not have a son.

Buddhists do not believe in a creator deity at all, but Muslims and Christians do.

Question: How can all three groups believe in the same god?

Answer: They do not.
